Xone:DB4 Modulators - FX Overview & Demonstration

How to use the Modulator FX (MOD) on the Xone:DB4 mixer from Allen & Heath presented by Mark EG.

You can download a ZIP file containing the loops that Mark used in this video from the Xone Blog. http://xoneblog.allen-heath.com/?p=735

Please use these loops and experiment with the FX on the Xone:DB mixers.

Most of the principles Mark demonstrates here with the Xone:DB4 also apply to the Xone:DB2.

Please share and link any examples on Sound Cloud and YouTube of how you use the :DB mixer FX with your music.

The heart of the Xone:DB4 is the powerful Quad FX Core DSP engine, enabling each channel to have its own FX bank.

There are 5 FX types (or groups). Each FX type contains many different FX variants.

Types are:
DLY (Delays)
VRB (Reverbs)
RES (Resonators)
MOD (Modulators)
DMG (Damage)

Each FX bank has a dedicated expression control and a rotary pot to set the wet/dry level, whilst further tweaking can be performed using the global controllers in the FX master section.
